fix: don't use toolbox as constant for FQDN

issue: #969 Setting the hostname to toolbox causes timeouts whenever anything tries to resolve the name of the machine - for example `sudo` does this. This change makes it so the FQDN is set to `${container_name}.${hostname}` as recommended in the linked issue. After this change commands can properly resolve the local FQDN.
